Re: Gallbladder loss/FATS?

[Guest guest]

My gallbladder has been gone for 1995. I have not had any problems with

digestion " that I know of " . Just the IBS which I had long before having my

gallbladder out and has now resolved since starting Armour.

I do have GERD which has also greatly improved with Armour. " That I know

of " maybe the key here. what specific digestive enzymes are you

referring to? When I search on " digestive enzymes " at vitacost.com I get 29

different products. I would appreciate the info. If you don't feel it is

appropriate to post the info on the board, please e-mail me

support.

Re: Gallbladder loss/FATS?

Anyone who has had their gallbladder removed needs to take certain enzymes

every single day, as that is what that reservoir was originally for, to

gradually feed these substances into the digestive tract, to help digest

certain types of foods. When it is no longer there, that's not happening

any more, so the timing is no longer regulated properly. Any internal organ

that we have is there for a good reason. It's sort of like when the thyroid

is removed, you've got to have a replacement for what it was making, though

it is never again as perfect as that was at one time. Funny how doctors

just don't seem to know this very well, even about a gall bladder.

Someone else here stated it better than I did as Bile Salts, not enzymes as

I had.
